Comprehensive Testing Available at VCIM

Testing is a concrete way to monitor your progress as we work together.

Tests we currently offer at VCIM

Through testing, we can deep dive into your complex physiology to help discern root cause factors. Our testing capabilities are always expanding. Here’s what we currently offer for testing:

  • All regular lab work for blood and urine tests is available, and requisitions can be filled at any Life Labs. OHIP does not cover the cost of these tests, so the costs are out of pocket. The advantage of being outside the OHIP system is that we can re-test things like cholesterol levels, iron, liver function tests, vitamin D, and more as often as we like. This allows us to better track patients’ improvements. 

  • Terrain Testing and Metabolic Testing

    • Live Blood Analysis/Live Cell Analysis/ Dark Field Microscopy

      This test allows us to see the shape, activity, and interactions of your red and white blood cells, as well as indicators of inflammation, oxidative stress, liver stress, and nutrient imbalances. Unlike standard lab tests that provide static numbers, live cell analysis offers immediate, visual insights into how your body is functioning at a cellular level. It helps us tailor your treatment more precisely and monitor your progress in a dynamic, personalized way.

    • Metabolomix Testing: Genova Diagnostics

      Metabolomix testing is a non-invasive, patient-friendly way to assess the functional need for antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, digestive support, fatty acids, and amino acids. Insights gained from the Metabolomix+ nutritional test allow clinicians to target nutritional therapies to meet the precise needs of their patients. This test is also helpful for assessing mitochondrial function, inflammation, oxidative stress, and methylation.

    • OAT Testing (Organic Acid Testing) 

      Organic acids are products of the body’s metabolic pathways. Evaluating these downstream metabolites from various metabolic pathways provides insight into important areas related to gut health, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitter status, indicators of detoxification, macronutrient breakdown, and nutritional status. This makes organic acid testing a valuable tool to assess the functional need for essential nutrients, diet modification, antioxidant protection, detoxification, and other therapies.

    • Dutch Test Complete Precision Analytical 

      Urine metabolite testing tests for estrogen, progesterone, relative excess and deficiency, processing and clearance, toxic estrogens, testosterone metabolism, 4-5 point cortisol, DHEA, cortisol metabolism, serotonin, dopamine, melatonin, b vitamins, Glutathione, 8OH DNA damage markers, and neuro-inflammatory markers.

    • SIBO, SIFO

      This type of noninvasive test measures the amount of hydrogen or methane that you breathe out after drinking a mixture of glucose or lactulose and water. A rapid rise in exhaled hydrogen or methane may indicate bacterial overgrowth in your small intestine, which can be the cause of IBS and other GI health issues.

    • Comprehensive Digestive and Stool Analysis

      Comprehensive microbiome testing, digestive function, inflammation, and gut immune response. 

    • Food Sensitivity Testing

      Electrodermal and IgG and IgM 

    • And more….

    • Gene Rx

      Gene Rx testing offers valuable insights into how your body processes nutrients, hormones, environmental toxins, neurotransmitters, inflammatory responses, and more. By identifying variations in key genes related to methylation, detoxification, inflammation, and mitochondrial function, this testing helps create a personalized wellness plan tailored to your unique biology, supporting better energy, hormone balance, and long-term health.

    • PrediSpot test

      The PrediSpot test analyses a patient’s DNA to identify inherited genetic traits associated with the development of serious medical conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, coronary artery disease, and sudden cardiac death.

    • Health Genetics Centre - Microbial DNA

      Health Genetic Centre offers several problem-specific DNA panels. These DNA panels are an effective tool to identify possible sources for various chronic health problems. Each panel is carefully constructed around years of scientific research and literature that has established a link between infection and disease.

    • RGCC Immunframe

      Immune-Frame is used to assess the condition of a patient’s immune system. Scientists use the test to identify specific cellular markers that are responsible for switching a patient’s immune system on and off.

    • RGCC Onco D Clare

      Onco-D-clare is a cancer screening test based on the interaction of molecular biology with machine learning algorithms. This screening test can help detect cancer before symptoms appear.

    • RGCC Oncotrace

      Oncotrace RGCC is used to identify a primary tumour in a patient and to provide guidance about disease progression and future prognosis. During the test, a sample of blood is analysed to identify the presence and concentration of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) and their concentration. This test provides information about the presence of CTCs, their concentration level, and their specific type (immunophenotype).
